Universality, vortices and confinement: modified SO(3) lattice gauge theory at non-zero temperature
arXiv:hep-lat/0309010 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.69.094503
Abstract
We investigate the adjoint SU(2) lattice gauge theory in 3+1 dimensions with the Wilson plaquette action modified by a Z(2) monopole suppression term. For the zero-twist sector we report indications for the existence of a finite temperature effect decoupled from the unphysical bulk transitions.
